1827 - 1922

Recording of marriages has been required since Tazewell
County was formed in 1827. Therefore, the Tazewell County marriage records are
fairly complete. However, records prior to 1878 only contain the names of the bride
and groom, the date of the marriage, and the name of the officiate.

Only the Tazewell County Clerk's office recorded marriages
during this period. However, Tazewell County has placed copies of the 1827 - 1922
marriage records into the Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD) system.

The Tazewell County Clerk charges $5.00 for a document
search - whether a record is found or not.

If the document prior to 1916 is found, an uncertified
copy can be issued at no further cost.
